It's 11:37 PM here as I write this post. I have been napping on and off the whole day yesterday and today. My mild symptoms of fever, headache and bodyache was gone today when I got up. However the covid arm still feels sore but is definitely getting better. Though I took official break from work for two days after my vaccination shot, I did work for an hour today and finished one catch up meeting with one of the Montessori teacher and her assistant teacher. Since I was feeling better, I thought of doing that. Better to finish the work rather than let them pile up and feel overwhelmed later. It was a day with rain, drizzle and thunderstorms. Had frequent power cuts and Internet was acting up. So, instead of being online, I spent time taking a long nap( more than 3 hours and that's technically sleep) and doing some Mandala art. The project is almost over and it should be over by tomorrow. I could cook simple meals today. The arm is still sore and so husband and daughters had to do the cleaning chores. After dinner, when power and Internet was smooth, I spent some time on Pinterest finding some art ideas. And then from my phone, I got this picture sent by one of my friends long time back. It's from Pinterest and it's art with old CDs. I found this one interesting. You can see that in the picture here. Now a long nap in day is keeping me awake at this time. Anyway I am officially off from work tomorrow and can afford to start my day late. Also, I don't plan to do any yoga tomorrow. Just some breathing exercises would do.Husband needs another hour to finish his office presentation for tomorrow. Till then I can mylot This art looks pretty and tempting. Isn't it? I found a box full of old CDs, but not sure if I can do this soon. I have enough to keep me busy in coming few months. It's definitely a good way to recycle and reuse old CDs. Have a good time in your mylot corner. Enjoy mylotting

We are having rain since 6 July with intermittent breaks. Our city is on yellow alert and it might continue to rain for another few days.

@CarolDM It's light rain and drizzle. So I don't think it would be flooding. If it was heavy rain, the city would have flooded by now.

You must have had a long busy day. I am sure that you slept well. I couldn't mylot much as the thunderstorm and rain made power fluctuations and internet was acting crazy. And I fell asleep listening to the rain.

No body uses them now. I used some of them in last two years doing some art and craft with my students. I still have a big box full of them. We can find many ideas online to reuse them.

I used some of them in last two years with my art and craft students. We made diya holders for Diwali. We did paper quilling art. I am not sure how paint will stay on CDs. They generally come out once they dry. I have to explore that. I still have a box full of them.

Wow nice... So what I have noticed is that artist can just bring life into anything. Never have I imagined that such a lovely drawings can be done on a CD. So what are your plans? Are you now planning to do Mandala art on the CDs

You should see the way my mom makes beautiful things out of old and unused stuffs. She is queen of recycling and upcycling. I would like to do these Mandala art on CDs but I am not sure how to let any paint stick to it. They come out after drying. I would later explore about it online.

@arunima25 Ohhh so its like mother, so is her daughter. Yes the painting on the CDs may come up once it dries up. Hope you would find something online on how to preserve the painting.

@S4mmyboy I will explore about that when I plan to do it. I am not anywhere close to mom. But yes, I do what I can do
